KBA is benchmarked to the MSCI China A 50 Connect Index, consisting of 50 large-cap Shanghai and Shenzhen listed stocks (A-shares) available through Stock Connect. A key feature of this Index is that it offers the first officially recognized Futures contracts for Stock Connect-eligible A-shares, representing a powerful risk management tool that makes its underlying stocks attractive to international investors. KBA focuses on the largest, most liquid stocks, which receive most foreign interest and inflows and may benefit from increased global investment in China’s onshore market over the long term.
